Nameless one asks about Sam Bernard, possible lost comic. Nope. I have a print of BECAUSE HE LOVED HER(1915), and we just showed A JANITORS WIFE'S TEMPTATION at Slapsticon. I believe he did indeed make a few records as well, and that I have one or two around here (but I could just thinking of Al Ber...

Richard, Thank you for the corrections; I will post them (minus the insults) over at Nitrateville. Of course I had no way of knowing for sure what these titles were mastered from, as I wasn't directly involved in said mastering nor did I claim I was, but was merely stating what it LOOKED like they ...

Well, I have been busy the last few weeks, so who’s had time to go take a look over there at Nutrateville, but, let’s face it, when one finally does have the time to take a gander, it’s beyond deadly dull over there these days. But one can once more chuckle at the general jack-assery , particularly ...

This book is everything I hoped it would be. (Frankly, I was expecting something like this from the RLW book on Roach.) Finally, we have a fully fleshed-out picture of the Roach output. Anyone who has the Lloyd, Our Gang, and Laurel & Hardy books in their library, would be foolish not to invest...

Andy Hunsucker and Andy Uhrich give a detailed report on their Slapsticon experience on this weeks episode of the Indiana University Cinema Podcast A PLACE FOR FILM: http://indianapublicmedia.org/arts/place-film-reviewing-slapsticon/ or you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtAWDCx4-...

A nameless one on Nutrateville postulates that perhaps none of Music Hall and Karno Comedian Billie Reeves films survive. I have three of them, all released by Blackhawk, A DAY ON THE FORCE, HIS WIFE'S NEW LID(both 1915), and A READY-MADE MAID (1916) and here's that 1930 short Reeves made: http://ww...

Here's some rarer Stooge-Fu from the 1965 Danny Thomas special also featuring martha raye and Tim Conway:

David Kalat reports on a few of his favorites from this weekends Slapsticon 2013: http://moviemorlocks.com/2013/06/29/report-from-the-trenches-slapsticon-2013/ I'm sure more to come when other Slapsticonians have gotten home, sobered up, or had long naps. RICHARD M ROBERTS (who has not yet done any ...

Well, Waveyboy over at Nutrateville showed us some more of his usual cluelessness on his rating of Grapevine's Video Releases this month. He called the transfer of GODLESS MEN as"coming from a decent 16mm print", which is completely incorrect. GODLESS MEN was transferred from the only surv...
